Christmas is coming… 🐶🎄
Ho ho ho ho ho ho.
The agonising festive puns and thousands upon thousands of chin-scratching thinkpieces eviscerating this year’s supermarket adverts* can only mean one thing.
Whether you like it or not, Christmas is on its way.
And that means your resident Christmas copy elf — yours truly — has been hard at work on the annual studio passion project: the Yarn Christmas Book.
In case you didn’t know, I don’t do a corporate Christmas card at Yarn; instead, I make a book. This year’s edition is a little different from the last couple of issues. Rather than creative writing collected around a theme, it’s a short story sprinkled with snippets of a life well lived. It’s about family, about loss, about the things people leave behind — and, of course, it’s about Christmas 🎄☃️🤶🎁.
I’m so proud of this one. I really hope you love it.
On that note. If you’d like a copy, I’ve made things really simple this year — just pop your details in the form below and I’ll add your name to the list. If you’re not sure whether you want one, I’ve included a snapshot of the last two issues at the top of this post so you can see what I’m talking about**. But trust me, you do.
As I mentioned, this is a festive passion project and I do it because I love it. That said, this year I’d like it to do some good, too. So if you sign up for a copy, I’d really appreciate it if you could make a donation to the British Heart Foundation via my JustGiving page here. I’ll include a link in the book, too.
Right then. I’d better go and finish this thing, eh?
*No thinkpieces from me, this year. I prefer to insufferably lambast John Lewis in my family WhatsApp groups, instead.
**Thanks, as always, to Lark for the images and beautiful design.
